The two-time Pro Bowler Johnson was second on the team's all-time rushing list with 6,090 yards. After several violent episodes with women, numerous run-ins with Chiefs management and the gay baiting Twitter rant, more than 10,000 Kansas City fans petitioned the team not to allow Johnson to gain the 75 yards needed break the team's all-time rushing record. The fans and decency won. Maybe Larry Johnson can ask Tim Hardaway for career advice?

Justice is served baby. The Kansas City Chiefs are sending a STRONG message with this and other clubs are taking notice. No one is that valuable that they have to make the whole club suffer and pull them down in the mudd.

Yea and where are those dizzy queens who were holding LJ's jock? Johnson would not have done all this if people hadn't made excuses for him. A man is supposed to be judged by his actions. Shame on him and triple shame for the so called black gay men who were defending this woman beater's homophobia. Like he would treat them any better. SMH

johnson will probably be picked up at some point. but his value has tarnished, he will lose millions of dollars and his next contract will not be so generous. plus, he has forever lost his opportunity to make history with his rushes.

The reason why Johnson said what he said, or why he did the things he did, was only because society, the team, our community enabled him...Its no different than the arrogant jock in your school or school bullies. These guys are used to being coddled and excused. Just like any man with a big ego, they feel they are entitled to saying or doing what they want.

Larry Johnson was privileged to wear the Kansas City Chiefs uniform. It was not a right. If he was representing a team, a franchise, a city, the sport...he is held to a higher standard of conduct. Period.

While it is "appropriate" that Larry Johnson be let go from the chiefs, I HIGHLY doubt it was because of his homophobic remarks. His being a liability on the field was most likely the reason...with this indicident having little(if any) influence on that decision.

"While it is "appropriate" that Larry Johnson be let go from the chiefs, I HIGHLY doubt it was because of his homophobic remarks. His being a liability on the field was most likely the reason."

Really? So says the same "Truth" who "highly doubted" Drew Gooden calling a fan a "faggot." See a pattern here?

I think you're trying to say it wasn't only his homophobic remarks that made him cut. Possibly, but we'll never know will we? The homophobic remarks were simply the last straw. The team wasnt willing to put up with his bs anymore.

But if the homophobic remarks had "little" affect, the team would have taken the NFL's advice, fined him 10 grand and never suspended him. But they didn't so that means ... the homophobic remarks were obviously very important to the team.

Well it goes to show that you may have the right to say what you want, but that doesn't mean that people have to put up with your BS. He's was getting paid millions of dollars to play football and represent a team and a city. Part of representing people involves a person's cache of goodwill. And goodwill definitely has a value in society. Obviously, his goodwill ran out, and now he's out on his butt. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Obviously he was NOT a liability "on the field"...approaching Priest Holmes' rushing record...KC management did the right thing for the right reason(s).

As for Karma...I sure hope it is a bitch, in which case, Johnson will be returning to this Earth in the form of fly or worm or something like that. He has messed up his Karma with his behavior in _this_ life. THAT'S karma.

I am just amazed at this stupid comments. I have seen stupid ass Black gay men run into White gay establishments that have discriminated against them on the color of their skin, but jump up and down about a player with little impact on your day-to-day life encounter a few issues off the field. Get a life. Johnson's stupid comments got him fired. Or you're blaming black gay men for this too, just like you blamed us for Hardaway, Gooden, anti-gay black pastors and Mugabe? smh -RM

I am so glad that there now appears to be consequences of hateful, ignorant remarks towards gay people, especially in the pro sports arena. Now it's time for over 10,000 fans to demand an end to using derogatory mascots like the Chiefs.
